VERBAL REASONING 

            In  the verbal section, students can highlight sentence in a passage testing reading comprehension. This is helpful to enable closer focus on a key idea in that passage. A very important change  is that the emphais of the new GRE  will be on vocabulary as it is used rather then the usage of vocabulary in isolation. So students don't stress out on mentioned long  vocabulary lists rather than  memorising a better sense  of the appropriate  usage  of a word  skills that  will matter in the real world of work and graduate studies in the US and other parts of the world.

          The new text completion section will test the ability to assess and make in ferences based on what students  have read in a passage. Given a reduced  emphasis on individual vacabulary, students will need  to interpret  and evaluate the larger grain of what an author is trying to argue, so focus on the meaning of the entrie sentence  rather than individual words will be tested. In particular,  this move will ensure the relevance of GRE  for those going for studies at the postgraduate  level and even for MBA programmes or business studies.
